RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 20591 to add one Lead Detention Services Worker (64TB) (represented) position at salary plan and grade QS5 1061 ($3,089 - 3,755) and cancel one Detention Service Worker (64VD) (represented) vacant position #3023 at salary plan and grade QS5 0913 ($2,668-$3,243) in the Office of the Sheriff–Custody Services Bureau.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$9,853.00 annual cost increase to the Office of the Sheriff’s General fund. Retirement costs will increase $2,244.00 annually.

BACKGROUND:

The Office of the Sheriff Detention Facilities currently lacks a position classification which enables the Detention Services Unit to provide weekend supervision to the 24 hour, 7 day per week facilities. Replacing a Detention Services Worker position with a Lead Detention Services Worker will align staffing and supervision with the Detention Facility service model.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to implement the proposed position change will impact the Office of the Sheriff’s ability to ensure adequate services to the 24 hour, 7 day week Detention Facilities. Lack of weekend supervisory coverage contributes to an unsafe working environment; which impacts public safety.
